Try Hard should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
DBA4-03S/zytkek (aka reynard 02S)
Just been looking at the latest pictures of the car on Fast Details, I never realised quite how low the car is, tlak about cutting down on cross sectional area...
Also must say, i think i prefer this colour scheme, was never much of a fan of the horrid purple/yellow from last year.
Regards
Ed

That paint scheme makes it seem lower than it really is as well

Defiently is lower than the MG around the sidepod area, and if you look closely you can see the the cockpit/safety cell is not flush on the 'passenger' side, in fact slightly raised. Kinda reminds me of the low deck height of the Panoz LMP-07, in a weird bored student kinda way :P

Yeah, hope that won't be a judge of it's success...

I have to say, it isn't exactly attractive.

I think it looks great compare to MG.....this is probably the first long-tail-ish 675 car in the class's short history....

I don't like excessively low sides, it makes it look like an aircraft carrier.

I much prefer the MG

The air grabbed by the sidepods simply goes out the rear of the car.

Like on the Audi, BMW LMR, and pretty much every other contemporary LMP

Exceptions i can think of are MKIIIC, Caddy, and Panoz.

It's a Chinese word(well in this case used by Japanese, since they do use a lot of Chinese character...), like the one on the driving suit...it says falcon...

In Japanese the word is Hayabusa, which is a type of falcon. If you are into motorcycles, than you know that the Suzuki GSX1300R is also called the Hayabusa. I don't know why it is on the DBA car. I don't thing there is a Suzuki connection.

A very similar design was on Hyanari Shimoda's formula renault car last season. Probably the falcon symbol is related to his backers.

its not a suzuki connection, the hayabusa is a japanesse falcon that can reach over 180mph in a dive. so appearently it, the hayabusa, is a symbol for speed.

This DBA LMP 675 is really wonderful, and I can't wait to see it on the track. This long tail makes it looking like a LMP 900... the Courage C65 is nice too ; with the supreb MGs, we'll have a great LMP675 grid : hopin' they'll have a great race too !

By the way, is John Nielsen's car the only one of its kind? Or are they going to build another?

well if i remember rightly, it was designed to compete in both 900 and 675, but as reynard went bust, it's only been left to others to pick up the programme. Hence probably why the 675 programme
